1 was lecturng ou, ln Kansas last sptiug where they havU prohibition. An iuirm- perate man came to me one day aud said !:
 "Y,s, Mir. Perkins, this prohibition will bring rum Ia the statu."
 "It wliI, will it ?"
 Yes, it viii imp ,vei ,h us and destroy our business hoasts" "
 ''Now let's see about this, my friend, D l said. "Let's examiu" tlria |, nlCr."
 "It Kulsas 1utnlcr brings lhliisaLd buaae!s of c1ru to Top. ka he lcs now much tor it?
 -Four huud ed dol rs ."
 "Now, ii yuu t,,kr thio thults nj over tu Peora how much wnIsney wIl II ,u,Le '"
 "F, UT thoUsarl galiona'
 'ALd this whskey Is worth - hrw much ?"
 70, after they have |? h lnIr housa ld dollars revenue,taX on tine uth,y thrty.six states 1t will b. worth about S4 6OO "
 "And If ths wlnskeY shoGid come back to Kansas you would have to Day about $4, 500 for it. Would 1t be worth anything to your citizens ?"
 'No, l suppose it would cause a great deal of idleuess aud crime. It would hurt us. I never did think whisk.'y positive benefit"
 "Well, I'll tell you," said. "It will hurt you directly B, 900 worth. You sc.I the corn from which the whiskey is mace for $400, and then you buy back the whis key for $5,000. You would be directly out of pocket just $l,GCG And, indirect | ly it would cost Kansas in idlencss and crime, caused by tbe four thousand gallons of whiskey, about $20, GOO. It would take l6,000 men day ap!ec" 10 drink 1t up il they drank quart day each The loss of 16,000 days labor to Kansas would be | $20, 900, wouldn't it ?" "By heaven !" he exclaimed, "I n, Vel heard it put ill that way see it all plain ly now. Ill never say any thing about prohibition damaging kansas again.
 'Yes, if Kansas c hI save $25, ,000 on uv cry thousand bushels of corn by letting il go over to Peoria, the more she is dam aged that way the richer she will becom, until finally, Illinois, utterly impoveri he'd will have to call on Knns as to lend hel money to build her poor houses. But there is one thing ill Krnsas that will b, ruined by prohibition"
 Whats that ?" he asked
 "Why, her poorh houses. Your poor. houses and gaol will become empty. Think of roor-house with not a soul in II but the poor master Think of gaol wi h. out couvict-poor, bankrupt gael and poor-house !'-EH Perkins.
